Our customized executive coaching engagements are designed to grow leaders, prepare expectant parents, and move organizations forward.
EXECUTIVE COACHING
An Executive Coaching relationship is a dedicated and safe space where motivated professionals enhance high performance, grow into new roles, and illuminate career-limiting blind spots. As a neutral third party, a coach supports executive success by drawing on multiple domains, including psychological insights, business acumen, organizational knowledge, interpersonal expertise and proven tools and frameworks. By advancing executives through coaching, sponsors support higher organizational performance, a demonstration of commitment to team members, and improved culture and relationships.

PARENTAL TRANSITION COACHING
Parental Transition Coaching is a specialized form of executive coaching designed to help expectant parents and their managers navigate the often complicated phases before, during and after parental leave. Our programs are designed to meet individual’s specific challenges and achieve seamless transitions, keeping careers on track and retaining key talent.
Sample Focuses
- Transition planning for employee and manager
- Prepare for re-entry while navigating the roles of new parent and working professional
- Short-term re-entry and longer-term career progress
I really appreciated the opportunity to have someone to chat about various topics related and unrelated to maternity leave. Valerie provided me with insights and points of views that I had not thought of by myself. Providing this opportunity to employees indicates that the firm cares about what is happening with that person in that moment, which is very valuable. It made me feel that I'm here for the long term.
